Turkish troops killed in bomb attack in Siirt province
Eight Turkish soldiers have been killed in a bomb attack in the south-eastern province of Siirt, the army says.
The bomb exploded on a highway as a military vehicle was passing. Seven more soldiers were wounded.
No-one has admitted the attack, but the army blamed it on Kurdish PKK militants. A further four troops died in gun battles with the PKK in Diyarbakir province.
The attacks come amid a wave of violence after a two-year truce failed.
Separately, two people have been arrested after gunfire was heard outside Istanbul's iconic Dolmabahce Palace, which houses offices of the prime minister.
Police seized two hand-grenades, an automatic rifle, a hand gun and ammunition.
